Alarm Mode
The “Alarm” screen appears only if 
an alarm condition exists. The alarm 
condition may be a warning sent from 
the engine ECU or a “local” alarm such 
as “Low Fuel”. When an alarm condition 
occurs, the “Alarm Screen” will appear 
and the screens described below will be 
displayed.
The descriptions below also explain 
how to temporarily override the alarm 
screen and audible / visual warnings and 
return to “Normal” mode. In all cases, 
the alarm will re-occur after a period of 
time to ensure that the user remembers 
the alarm condition. Once an alarm 
condition has been corrected, the alarm 
screen, horn, and warning lights will no 
longer be displayed.
